Happy Birthday Damien! {12}




12 years ago today my life changed forever! Little did I know what type of impact that little screaming bundle of joy would have on my life.  Damien has grown, not only in size,  over the past year but individually as well. I no longer have to wrestle him into the bathroom to take a shower, he does this on his own which can only mean one thing….girls! Oh no, I knew this day would come. But I think its cute that Damien cares about how he looks, and his clothes and such. It's fun helping him pick out nice outfits to wear to dances and other events. Damien has also grown emotionally as well. Hormones are a tricky thing to deal with and I see that when he is in a full swing emotional episode. In which he quickly snaps out of it and comes back to us in his normal form. He has also become quite the athlete over the course of the last year. He is just an amazing force to watch on the court or field. He has so much potential. I cannot be more lucky to have such a great person in my life. I look forward to this new phase of his life…..tweenhood. Now, this is gonna be fun!














Love you Damien!!!

Library Time

We are back to our routine of going to the library bi-weekly. Here are our selections from our most recent trip:


Reading update:
Amar'e no longer wants to sit down and listen to the stories when I'm reading to her. She insist on either reading to me, which is fine, but she rarely allows me to read her a story from start to finish. Sometimes I can't even read her one word. I know she is only two, but much closer to three, and her attention span is limited but this new disinterest seems to be a regression in attention span. We use to be able to sit and read an entire story together. I'm sure that this is just a phase and that this periodic disinterest will not last long. I find it very important that she is able to sit,  at least for a short time, and read to one another at least once a day (or every other).  The benefits can last a lifetime and I thoroughly enjoy it! 

What are you reading with your family?
